Is there an agenda when people are so ignorant of the idea of evolution that they ask, "If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"

It's a legitimate question from someone who obviously doesn't understand the anwser. Why don't you try explaining it to them, instead of immediately assuming they are not capable of understanding. Because someone doesn't immediately accept the "double-speak" of some scientists does not mean they lack intelligence. It may mean they are actually thinking for themselves. That's a rare commodity in today's world. You guys are no different from the creationists. You let several books do your thinking for you, we let one help us with ours.

There is ignorance and there's willful ignorance. If you're trying to bludgeon the other guy with what you can misunderstand or forget, that's willful. Information on evolution is publicly available and exists in abundance on this forum.

The posts of Phaedrus, gore3000, and most of the other leading C-siders on FR make the case that there is no making a doctrinaire creationist understand or even remember the existence of a single point against his position. The publications of ID-ers such as Behe and Johnson are simply attacks on the idea that we will ever understand complexity. ID-ers are cheerleaders for the gaps in our knowledge.

This is Ludditism dressed up. There is no information content in such alleged science unless you count the witch-doctor screech that reason is of no avail against magic as information.
